It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. The game also held a collab with Fate/Stay Night: http://divine.gungho.jp/member/collabo/fate-sn03.html

You might wanna fix the images. You used the same one for Aoto and Midori.

am interested but i imagine it would be hard to make an adaptation of a game as complex/"open" as that. blade and soul tried and it didn't fair too well in the end.

Haven't played it, but this sounds interesting.

I love how they all have color names and then there's just Arthur.

Based on a smartphone game? That never ends up well. Let's see where this goes.

We're talking about a game that's extremely successful in Japan here, not a game from a cheap smartphone company, there should be no funding issues which would be one of the biggest reasons for animations to come out shitty.

The in-game art is great and story is somewhat interesting, no idea how they're going to adopt it but I would guess they wouldn't mess up their biggest chance to advertise. Just have to wait and see how it turns out.

Because both were originally smartphone games. And quite honestly, that's the only similarity they have. Gameplay mechanics and quality are vastly different.

Good lord I hope that's all that will be when it comes to similarity.

Looking at the picture, it reminds me of Danganronpa.

This could be cool, but I doubt it would have any noteworthy story.

Visuals look nice, but I just hope it's not going to be an adaptation with 3-5 mins per episode.

Sad truth. Not that it's any good, but I'll agree with successful, considering the download numbers at the time it was airing.

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to feel for this. I hear 'game adaptation' and I want to cringe, no matter VN or actual game. Tentatively agree to look out for information regarding it, but it seems mediocre at best.

Sceptical cos it's an adaptation of a smartphone game, but I am a sucker for fantasy-based RPGs, so I'm sure I'll end up watching it.

Mobile? RPG?

It won't do well, only the music genres do well when it comes to mobile game adaptations. It's also painfully average looking.

its a very god game for what it is the game s the anime should be good
"If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine"

When the union's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run
There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun
Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one
For the Union makes us strong

Game adaptations don't usually go well... Show By Rock!! from this season is pretty rad though, so I'll keep an eye on this one, especially when we learn more about the studio.

Sounds interesting, but I'll wait to see which studio is going to take it before deciding whether it would be worth watching...I would rather not watch more cardbox animation...
